Case Study: BGL Insurance streamlines database deployments with Redgate

Streamlining database deployments with Redgate

BGL Insurance, a major UK digital insurance distributor, faced significant challenges with its database deployment process. The Data Solutions Team relied on manual scripts, leading to frequent out-of-hours callouts, deployment errors, and a resource-draining "buddy system" to oversee releases. These issues caused delays in delivering critical business data and overwriting previous changes.

To resolve this, they implemented Redgate's database DevOps solution, including version control and deployment tools integrated into their CI/CD pipeline. This automation from Redgate made deployments faster and more reliable, eliminating the buddy system and reducing failures. The results included a 30% increase in staff without a loss in quality, a significant drop in after-hours calls, and the prevention of code-overwriting incidents, allowing the team to scale effectively.
